Came for their microdermabrasion (my sister) and deep hydration facial (me). As we were the last appointments of the day, the spa was quite empty when we arrived and we did not have to encounter a group of chattering women which was nice.
Camden spa has a very nice airy feel about their space as it is a loft conversion and on a bright Saturday afternoon, the space was filled with lots of natural light. As we entered, we were greeted by a friendly receptionist and were asked to fill out a form for our service providers. We were also offered tea and water as we waited for our treatment. As we each entered our treatment rooms, there was a confusion about who was getting what treatment which threw me off a little bit but we ended up receiving the correct services.
My facial was done by Ana who was friendly without being too chatty. My room was almost completely dark and since we were coming from a massage, this almost put me straight to sleep. I thought the facial was on a little shorter side but I was told that it was because I did not need extractions. Overall, the facial felt really nice. My skin definitely felt very well hydrated. However, I went to use the washroom, I could see that my eye make up was not all removed as I could see remains of my eyeliner. Hmm...so much for a deep cleansing that supposedly took place before slathering on a bunch of hydrating salves.
My sister's microdermabrasion was also similar. It was her first time trying it out so we had nothing to compare it to but the staff who performed the procedure told my sister that Camden Spa does maybe 5 -6 microdermabrasions a month. I guess that doesn't put them at the most experienced category. Either way, my sister seemed happy with the result of her treatment.
I would say my overall experience at Camden spa was just okay. Not superb but pleasant enough that I would not discount them for future visits.
